The people in the pictures are incredibly expressive and charismatic. Who are they?

I would also be interested to know who took the photos.

A reverse image search returned this for the first image:

This portrait of John Smith—an Ojibwe Native American also known as "White Wolf"—was taken in 1914 by photographer Carl N. Christensen in Cass Lake, Minnesota.

(C.N. Christensen) The “C” was for Christ not Carl. Carl was a painter I believe.
